Plant Vogtle, which JEA has a contract to buy power from, has reached a milestone with the first nuclear fuel shipment for Unit 3, which has been under construction.
Georgia Power has been expanding the nuclear plant with two new units that have been plagued with cost overruns. Achieving this historic milestone brings us closer to fuel load expected in April 2021, and, once online, these new nuclear units will provide clean, carbon-free energy for the next 60 to 80 years, said Georgia Power Chairman & CEO Paul Bowers in a news release.
JEA settled a lawsuit with Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia (MEAG Power) in July after attempting to get out of its deal to buy nuclear power from the Alvin W. Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, which is commonly referred to as Plant Vogtle.
